Rahul is expected to reply to questions from students on subjects ranging from politics, education, corruption and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).

Though the PU Campus Students' Union (PUCSC), the official students' body in Panjab University, has not said anything on the controversy around Rahul's visit, two student bodies the Students Organisation of India (SOI), a political wing of Akali Dal and the Students' Federation of India (SFI), a CPI students wing - are objecting to his visit.

Both these organisations are part of the ruling alliance in PUCSC, which is led by Students of Panjab University (SOPU). SOI President Gurpreet Singh said "we joined hands with SOPU for a strong students union in the campus. We are not interested in such political events."

Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), a frontal organisation of BJP, said since Rahul was allowed to address students, authorities must also allow top BJP leaders to do the same.

SFI Chief Prabhpreet Singh said Rahul neither held an important political post nor was he a professor or reseacher who was being invited to campus to interact with the students.

ABVP leader Dinesh Chouhan said "we will invite BJP national leaders Sushma Swaraj or Arun Jaitley to the campus."

Meanwhile, tight security arrangements were made by police, the city administration and PU authorities for Rahul's visit, officials said.
